Answer:

D. 5.19

Explanation:

Zero coupon bond is the bond which does not offer any interest payment. It is issued on deep discount price and Traded in the market on discounted price.

According to given data

Face value = F = $1,000

Year to maturity = n = 15 Years

Current price = P = $468

Yield to maturity = [ ( F / P )^(1/15) ] - 1

Yield to maturity = [ ( $1,000 / 468 )^(1/15) ] - 1

Yield to maturity = 1.0519 - 1

Yield to maturity = 0.0519 = 5.19%

Answer:

5.19 ( D )

Explanation:

A zero-coupon bond is a bond traded/issued to the investor at a discounted price i.e a price lower than the actual face value of the bond. this type of bond dose not attract periodic interest payments rather at the time of maturity the initial face value of the bond is paid to the investor.

The  value of a Zero-coupon bond can be calculated as

value of zero - coupon bond = \frac{F}{( 1 + r )^{t} }

F = face value

r = yield

t = time

But the yield to maturity can also be calculated using this formula

r = (\frac{F}{Cp} )^{\frac{1}{T}-1 }

F = face value of the bond ( $1000 )

Cp = current price ( $468 )

T = time to maturity ( 15 )

therefore yield =  (\frac{1000}{468} )^{\frac{1}{15}-1 }

= 2.136752^{\frac{1}{15 }-1 }

= 0.05186 = 5.186

i.e the yield to maturity is closest to 5.19 ( D )

Determine the future value of $21,000 under each of the following sets of assumptions (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1,
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

(a) $43,656.90

(b) $33,698.70

(c) $43,967.70

Explanation:

Future Value of annuity shall be:

(a) 10% for 8 years, Semiannually compounded

In this since the interest is compounded semiannually, the effective interest rate = 10/2 = 5%

Future Value of $1 in 8 years with 10% interest compounded semiannually = 2.0789

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 2.0789 = $43,656.90

(b) 12% for 4 years, Quarterly Compounded

In this since the interest is compounded quarterly, that is 4 times in a year, effective interest rate = 12/4 = 3%

Future value of $1 in 4 years with 12% interest compounded quarterly = 1.6047

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 1.6047 = $33,698.70

(c) 36% 25 months, Monthly

In this since the interest is compounded monthly effective interest rate = 36/12 = 3%

Therefore, Future Value of $1 in 25 months @36% compounded monthly = $2.0937

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 2.0937 = $43,967.70

podryga [215]

Answer:

A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.

Explanation:

Short run decision affects variable factor only. Adding a new facility is a long run decision. Hence a firm's decision to decrease the amount of electricity used in day-to-day operations by encouraging employees to adopt conservation strategies is a short run decision.

Hence, the correct answer would be:

A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.

gladu [14]

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Qd = 45 - 2P

Qd    = -15 + P

45 - 2P = P - 15

60 = 3P

60/3 = P = 20

Q = 45 - 2*20 = 5

Q = -15+20 = 5

The quantity will be 5 and price 20

<u>Now we will caclulate the consumer surplus:</u>

Which the area of the demand curve above the equilibrium.

We calculate he area of a triangle:

base x high / 2

\frac{(45-5)\times20}{2}

consumer surplus = 400
